Yun Zhourong smiled slightly, "Thank you, Brother Zheng, I'm very happy."
Seeing this, Qin gritted her teeth in hatred, cursing Yun Zhourong hundreds of times in her heart, but dared not utter a sound.
Afterwards, the group went downstairs.
"I'll go help."
Seeing that everyone was busy putting out the fire, Yun Hongcheng immediately rolled up his sleeves and ran out.
Yun Hongshen, on the other hand, hid in a position where the rockets couldn't reach him and had no intention of going out.
When the people at the post station saw him, they all looked at him with disdain.
"Oh no, we're almost out of water!"
Just then, a courier said anxiously, "The water must be drawn from the well in the village; there's no time to go there now!"
"Use snow first!" Yun Zhourong shouted.
"Yes, yes, use snow!" Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dug up snow on the spot to put out the fire.
However, it just so happens that it didn't snow today, and the amount wasn't much. If the people outside don't stop setting fires, it won't last long at all.
Yun Zhourong was also extremely anxious. If the house burned down and they had nowhere to hide, even if they weren't burned to death, they would probably be shot dead next.
After hesitating for a moment, he hid in a place where the arrows couldn't reach and summoned Ji Minxiu, hoping that he could help put out the fire.
"Moo..."
As a result, Ji Minxiu and a cow appeared at the same time.
What's happening outside?
Before Yun Zhourong could speak, Ji Minxiu asked first, having heard the noise outside.
"I suspect they're setting fire to the village. Do you have any way to extinguish these rockets?" Yun Zhourong asked anxiously.
"Okay, wait five minutes!"
Ji Minxiu immediately thought of fire extinguishers, which were the most convenient way to deal with these rockets and could put out the fire at its source in time.
His warehouse happened to contain more than a thousand fire extinguishers left over from previous fire safety charity events.
I originally planned to donate it when I had time, but I kept forgetting because I was too busy.
These are enough for the entire village.
The soldiers also had a limited number of arrows. As long as they could control the fire, they would have time to negotiate.
“Okay!” Yun Zhourong replied without hesitation, her eyes filled with trust.
After Ji Minxiu left, Yun Zhourong quickly led the cow into the house to prevent it from getting hurt.
She knew that this cow was the hope for saving all the villagers.
"Damn it, how dare they set fire!"
At this moment, the postmaster, hiding in the house, cursed loudly, "I'm the county magistrate's brother-in-law! These people are asking for death!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong's eyes lit up, realizing that this was the key to saving the villagers.
So he immediately ran up to the postmaster and said, "Sir Postmaster, you can reveal your identity. I believe they will be wary and will then strike again with deadly force!"
Extinguishing the fire was merely a means of coping; their identity as postmasters was their only hope for survival.
"I don't know who gave this order, the situation hasn't even reached its worst point yet."
After the postmaster finished speaking, he suddenly jumped back several steps away from Yun Zhourong, "Wait, how did you get here!"
Yunzhou sighed and pointed to the situation outside, "The whole village is in complete chaos now, and the people outside are going to burn us to death. What's the point of talking about this?"
Those who were supposed to be in contact have already been in contact, so there's no point in isolating them anymore.
"Yes, you're right, but we can't get out now, and we can't reveal our identities."
The postmaster didn't want to die, but there seemed to be no way out. He would either be burned to death or, if he dared to rush out, he would probably be shot to death by a hail of arrows.
Unless the county magistrate himself appears before him, he will have some chance; otherwise, others will certainly not believe him.
“I have a way to keep this fire going until they are all exhausted, then we’ll find an opportunity to go and negotiate.”
Yun Zhourong said, "However, you have to promise me that I will bring all the seriously ill villagers to the post station to take care of them. Of course, I will also require them to sign a waiver first to ensure that they will not cause you any trouble."
"What can you do?" the postmaster asked.
"You tell me first whether you agree or not."
Yun Zhourong checked the time and pointed to the people outside, saying, "If you hesitate any longer, we'll all be burned to death together."
"Alright, as long as you can control this fire, I'll grant you one request, I'll even acknowledge you as my ancestor!" The postmaster hesitated only slightly before gritting his teeth and agreeing.
"Ahem, no need for ancestors."
Yun Zhourong coughed lightly and quickly ran to an open space to summon Ji Minxiu.
The next second, a small mountain of red iron bottles appeared on the ground.
"Lord Snow Demon, is this what you use to put out fires?" Yun Zhourong's mouth dropped open in surprise. "So many?"
"yes."
Ji Minxiu nodded, then demonstrated to Yun Zhourong, "This process consists of four steps: lifting, pulling, gripping, and pressing. You need to spray the base of the flame, understand?"
"I've got it." Yun Zhourong took it and did it once, quickly mastering it.
"Very good, let's go."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he grabbed Yun Zhourong's wrist and walked out with her. "For the sake of your reputation, just say later that I'm a female mute helper. Anyway, I'm wearing protective clothing from head to toe, so they won't be able to tell."
But in his heart he was thinking that he had to find another way to extend the stay, as it was really inconvenient to always hold Yun Zhourong's hand.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yun Zhourong nodded and took Ji Minxiu with her, along with a fire extinguisher, and went out.
"This thing can put out a fire?" Everyone looked skeptical when they saw the fire extinguisher.
"Watch this." Yun Zhourong didn't say much, picked up the fire extinguisher, ran to a newly appeared fire spot, and sprayed it.
Countless white powders sprayed out, immediately extinguishing the fire. The oil didn't even spread again, proving to be more effective than water.
"It can actually put out fires! Miss Yun, how many of these do you have?" The postmaster was overjoyed upon seeing them.
"There are a total of one thousand bottles, enough for us to get through today's crisis. Let's quickly distribute them to the villagers together."
Yun Zhourong looked at the village, where thick smoke was already rising, indicating that some houses had been burned down. "You come with me, I will teach you how to use it, and then I will teach the villagers."
"Okay, I want to learn too." The postmaster was the first to sign up.
The rest of the people naturally followed suit. Apart from Old Madam Yun, even Yun Mingyuan, the child from the second branch of the family, joined the firefighting team.
Only the eldest son's family remained hidden, too afraid to come out.
Seeing Yun Zhourong surrounded by a crowd of admirers, Qin Shi covered her swollen face, her eyes filled with venomous curses, "Damn bitch, I hope you get shot to death by a rocket!"
Using fire extinguishers is not difficult, and soon the firefighting team members each took several fire extinguishers and quickly left to put out the fire in the village.
As for Yun Zhourong, it was inconvenient to bring Ji Minxiu along, so she could only help out at the post station.
